Forty Fourth Stop: Carlsbad, Ca


 Back in Carlsbad!   It felt so good to be able to spend a few days back in my original home with all my family and friends.  I know I continue to mention how blessed I am and how lucky I am to have so many people in my corner cheering me on, but it is true.  My village continues to show support for this adventure that I am on. 

     Being able to give my Mama a real hug... and not a skype hug was pretty awesome.  It is all about the little things that you don't realize that you will miss.  I am fortunate that I do have some use of technology to be able to skype and keep in touch,  but there is nothing better than the first hug from your Mama after you haven't seen her in two months. 

     Wednesday night (my first night home) I was able to surprise my 2 kiddos.  D and Tay were so excited to see my family walk into Golden Spoon and then were over the moon when they realized that I was behind them.  They both gave me the biggest hugs and had so much to tell me.  They make my heart so happy and it is hard knowing that I am missing their soccer games, dances, ect, but I am so happy to have them in my life. 

     After an already pretty amazing evening, my neighbor Patti asked me to come over because she had something for me.  So the kiddos and I go over after we get back from frozen yogurt and what she gave me left me speechless and made my eyes "sweat." Mrs. PR is a phenominal quilter.  She makes the most beautiful pieces of art work and she made me one!!  I never imagined that I would be blessed with such a beautiful piece of art work. 

     Thank you again Patti.  Your art work is beautiful.  It brightens up my room and has been keeping me nice and warm as the nights are getting colder.
